REPORT: FBI General Counsel James A. Baker under investigation for leaking classified information

62

This comes as Department of Justice Attorney General Jeff Sessions said he would soon be making an announcement regarding the progress of leak investigations.

Finally, justice! President Trump, a massive purge of Obama traitors is long overdue.

Baker is a close confidant of former FBI Director James Comey, and recent media reports suggested he was reportedly advising the then-FBI director on legal matters following private meetings the former director had in February with President Trump in the Oval Office.

REPORT: Top FBI lawyer under investigation for leaking classified information

CIRCA (thanks to Right Scoop):

FBI General Counsel James A. Baker is purportedly under a Department of Justice criminal investigation for allegedly leaking classified national security information to the media, according to multiple government officials close to the probe who spoke with Circa on the condition of anonymity.

FBI spokeswoman Carol Cratty said the bureau would not comment on Baker and would not confirm or deny any investigation. Baker did not return comment when Circa attempted to reach him through the FBI.

This comes as Department of Justice Attorney General Jeff Sessions said he would soon be making an announcement regarding the progress of leak investigations. A DOJ official declined to comment on Circa’s inquiry into Baker but did say, the planned announcement by Sessions is part of the overall “stepped up efforts on leak investigations.”

Three sources, with knowledge of the apparent investigation, told Circa that Baker is the top suspect in an ongoing leak investigation, but Circa has not been able to confirm the details of what national security information or material was allegedly leaked.

A federal law enforcement official with knowledge of ongoing internal investigations in the bureau told Circa, “the bureau is scouring for leakers and there’s been a lot of investigations.”

The revelation comes as the Trump administration has ramped up efforts to contain leaks both within the White House and within its own national security apparatus.

Baker is a close confidant of former FBI Director James Comey, and recent media reports suggested he was reportedly advising the then-FBI director on legal matters following private meetings the former director had in February with President Trump in the Oval Office.

The announcement from Sessions, whenever it comes, sounds like it’s going to be a big one, especially if it’s ensnaring top FBI lawyers.

Buckle up!

unfortunately for you it’s impossible to fix stupid. The only point you proved is the one on top of your pinhead.

try digesting this: I voted Trump. He doesn’t have free speech, because in his position every word has consequences. But understanding that is above your intelligence level. Condolences are in order. I hope you haven’t added to the American gene pool. We already have enough stupid people.

That is why you are a Moron.

If you support Trump and your first comment was sarcastic you end that with /sarc to indicate it was sarcasm.

it can not be understood online because offline ppl understand sarcasm not just based on words but how it is spoken (tone, smile etc) .

not possible online when in written form

Draining the swamp should have been first priority.

Dems are corrupt and have been working to subvert Trump before and after his election to prevent him from going after their crimes.

They have even sold American security to Iran by pushing through Iran nuke deal after getting paid by Iranian Lobbyists . Shocked ?

Dear Mr. President:

Get a real wartime Consigliere.
Make it very clear that no one EVER tells anyone outside the Family what they said or what they are are thinking.
Make the fence sitters and the RINOs an offer they can’t refuse. You are President of the United States. You can do this.

The federal government using Mafia tactics to deal w/the F-I_B, what would Elliot Ness think?

Mr. Ness would think it not a moment too soon to use traditional tools against the Chicago Thugs (Not the hockey team) who created this mess.

Whatever faults Director Hoover might have had – there are many – I doubt he would have allowed the current situation to reach this point. If nothing else, Mr. Hoover would have produced convincing evidence that Obama was in fact born in Mombasa, as stated by the Kenyan ambassador on a radio interview after Obama’s first successful election bid. Certainly, more convincing than the fraudulent PDF cobbled together in Hawaii.

What we need is goon control, not gun control.

Warning. This is a kinder, gentler America. Instead of the “Huddled masses yearning to breathe free” who willingly fought WWII, its simply a huddled mass yearning for a benevolent master, 8 years of Buraq Hussein Obama, the rise of Bernie sanders, “safe spaces”, “microagressions” in the schools are testament to that.

I agree, AA; however, if one is a traitor today, in the perverse logic of many, they are deemed heroes, given the opportunity to becoming Transformers/Transgenders and a slap on the wrist, the latter is optional. They, as mentioned, should be shot or receive a life sentence. It is a bloody joke, these lowlife know that Liberalism/Socialism has weakened the nation… “Hell, I’m tired of being a guy. I’ll push this button, send, to my contact in Marxist Land or wherever.”

Well, you’re a conspiracy nut. I don’t know if that’s wishful thinking on your part or if you’re really that out of touch with reality, but calling Obama an illegal alien pretty much disqualifies everything you say from serious consideration.

There are two kinds of deterrence, direct and indirect. Direct deterrence will occur when someone like Baker is made an example of what happens to leakers. Indirect deterrence will happen when others see what fate awaits them and decide to stop their leaking activities as a result. Can’t happen a minute too soon.

IF they are leaking classified information I want to see the ARREST and the JAIL SENTENCE or MONETARY PUNISHMENT to near bankruptcy.

If that is not satisfactory to the leaker he can be HANGED so it will not trouble him anymore We are a merciful country. 😉

If Baker has been informing Comey of Trump meetings, Comey should be investigated also. He has already agreed that he is a leaker.
